Scott O'Brien , riddy, Duffy, Jamie Rooney would be good options this year, Kevin penny instead of deano and seb martins instead of hilly

Seb's not a bad shout......and how about "Frenchie" as a straight forward replacement for Nanyn (goal kicking centre)?

Rooney is playing in France and on his debut lost 44-0, he can stay there for me

They normally only go to France for the pre-season, who's frenchie lol

Ahh couturier ?

Don't know if it makes any difference, but on the link at the beginning of the thread it says he was playing in Cas under 20is last season.

Thought he was playing for the Miners, and our Reserves?

Don't understand what you mean Alan, i am going of the link at the beginning of the thread.

Look at what you replied to. Dick Jones is talking about Scott O'Brien.



Scott O'Brien played for Miners and our reserves. Ryan Brieley played for Cas U20's.

Ah sorry, my mistake.

Would say no to a DC at Half Back in a ideal world (in fact in a ideal world I have no interest in any DC players).

Its one of the most important positions on the field and whilst it would be great to get a player with potential in that role I would be looking at assurances on just when he could be called back and ensuring the parent club didn't drop us in it last minute unless completely unavoidable..

To be fair, I did know who you meant though, Ian!

From what i am being told this may not yet happen, nothing signed yet and the club i am led to belive the club have had meetings with wigan and wire this week about d/c players, so we will have to wait and see what happens.

That would suggest us signing Mcnally to play 7 then with the duals being outside backs and forwards probably be for the best in the long run i'd love to see Rhys back

Just out of interest who is picking the incoming players? I assume the new coach whoever he is and not just the directors.

wouldnt having a D/C player be cheaper in the long run? think i read we pay £250 a game. although its not ideal incase they are called back to their club

I have been wondering that myself, and I can not help thinking a list of potential 2012 player recruitment has been drawn up ........ By Basil

The new coach lives next door to Basils dad!

I will read more careful next time Alan.

May have got it wrong but I'm sure it was mentioned at the last fans forum that the 'wanted' list for the 2012 squad was drawn up months ago, so inevitably it would have been Basil compiling that list. Which is a lot more preferable to it being drawn up by the directors, with all respect due to them!

You're not kidding Matt - Trevor had already asked me if I could do a joint Programme Editor/Loose forward job!

Another few years and you'll be in the front row Alan!

Surname Davies I been told.............Brad Davies maybe?

It could be Freddie "Parrot Face" Davies
